Say what you will about big beer, but they’re good at clever marketing. Whenever a new beer goes into cans, we can’t help but think of this never-aired, somewhat crass Bud Light Lime ad from a few years back.
Thankfully, there’s much better beer than Bud Light Lime in cans, and with Bronx Pale Ale in cans available for the first time this week, and tallboy cans of Sixpoint’s summertime Krystalweizen Apollo making their annual return, we can’t help but shout from the rooftops about how much we like getting it in the can. After all, in addition to being easier to transport and more commonly recycled, cans are better for beer itself - with 100% protection from light, there’s no chance of getting a skunky can of beer. And if you still think you get a metallic taste from cans, it’s all in your head - the coating on the cans keeps it from happening. And hey - if you still don’t like the thought of drinking from a can, just pour that sweet deliciousness into a cup, dummy!
This weekend’s beer events are listed below. Cheers!
